Cushions of All Kinds.

Another thing which every woman should
provide herself with for the country, and which
will be found more than comfortable. is a large
cushion to be used for chair when living
in hammock, and for yachting they are almost
indispensable. They are made of what is known
as turkey red or of the blue overhauling, ac-
cording to the complexion of the owners. AMI
are worked In an all-over design with white
linen flosses. The shape is like square pillow
case cover, and on one end made eyelet
holes, where it is laced with a white cord. In
this way the cover can be taken off and washed
at any time In articles to be made the choice
is very wide one, as may be seen by visit to-
the decorative art rooms, where every thing
be had from the most deliberately embroidered
portieres to the simplest bit of work common

is much that is beautiful, artistic and useful

front and two ends, worked either in linen floss
or in wash silks, to match the coloring of the
room in which it is to be used. The cover can
be plainly hemmed on three sides with lace.
The cushion cover has small bit of the border

course, be edged with lace. put on rather full.
Tho cushion itself is covered with silk. and
should have full rosettes OF ribbon on each

the sides, and the effect Is very pretty. Very
cunning little cushions are made to hang from

fancy pins now so much used They are either

fine narrow lace and quantity of ribbon. A

it, couched on in different shades of yellow, the
whole being finished with fine torchon lace.

President is too sanguine when he congratulates
himself on the effect of his recent letter. The
President has paid no attention whatever. it Is
stated at the White House, to the reports that
the Grand Army posts Of Utica aud other places
will decline to parade at Clinton because he Is
there He sees no similarity between this case
and that of St. Louis, and now dismisses the
whole subject as "a tempest in a teapot"
Friends Of the President say that they have
positive information that no formal action has
been taken by any Of the Nav York Grand Army
posts relative to refusing to parade at Clinton,
and that even IL they had decided not TO he
would be present Those critics who find fault
with the Presidents letter generally insist that
il was no: fear that caused the letter to DO
written but simply the desire to make the
most OF an opportunity to address the public.

ment They offered the years agreement made
